Liquid Light has signed a technology development agreement with The Coca-Cola Company to accelerate the development of Liquid Light’s technology, which can make mono-ethylene glycol(MEG) from carbon dioxide (CO2).
Liquid Light’s approach enables more efficient use of plant material to make MEG.
For example, a bio-ethanol production facility could make bio-MEG from the CO2 byproduct that results from converting plant material into ethanol.
The technology has the potential to reduce both the environmental footprint and the cost of producing MEG.
MEG is one of the components used to make The Coca-Cola Company’s plant-based polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottle.
Details of the agreement are not being disclosed at press time.
